ATHLETIC GIANTS
A NEW ZEALAND athlete who already has international
honours to his credit, will be branching out n a new sphere at 0 h r istchurch cither to-day or to-morrow. This is Geoff. Mley, the All Slack footballer, who is Can terbury’s r epresentative
in the shot putt. Geoff
weighs just under 16st., but he is not as heavy as Peter Munro, the huge Wellington policeman. It is interesting to note the avocations of some of these hefty chaps who think nothing of hurling a heavy chunk of lead round the landscape. Alley is a Divinity student at Canterbury College; Morgan, one of his opponents, is an ex-All Black footballer, and like Leadbeatter a schoolmaster. Peter Munro and J. W. McHolm are both members of the “Foorce,” and W. Harvey is a cousin of the All Black, lan Harvey.
